I carry your heart with me

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry It In my heart)

– E. E. Cummings

Happy anniversary, Eminan.

  1. Bret, I have & still do enjoy your posts. Just celebrated the one year anniversary of hubby Howard’s death. I feel a lot of your emotions. The difference is your & your sweetly’ s age, so young. My favorite post of yours goes something like ” my heart is broken because of the loss, but it is forever richer because of their life”. We moved back to B C before he died & I’m active at FBC again. God is faithful. I think of you & your mom often. Please give Cheryl my love.
